حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ:
رَأَى حُذَيْفَةُ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي لَا يُقِيمُ صُلْبَهُ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ دَعَاهُ حُذَيْفَةُ فَقَالَ: مُنْذُ كَمْ صَلَّيْتَ ؟ قَالَ: مُنْذُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، قَالَ: لَا وَاللهِ مَا صَلَّيْتَ مُنْذُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَلَوْ مُتَّ الْيَوْمَ مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْفِطْرَةِ الَّتِي فُطِرَ عَلَيْهَا مُحَمَّدٌ، ﷺ، ثُمَّ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: " إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُخَفِّفُ الصَّلَاةَ، وَيُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ

✧ Hudhayfah saw a man praying without straightening his back in bowing and prostration. When he finished, Hudhayfah called him and said: "Since when have you been praying?" He said: "For forty years." He said: "No, by Allah, you have not prayed for forty years. If you were to die today, you would die upon other than the natural disposition upon which Muhammad ﷺ was created." Then Hudhayfah said: "A man may make the prayer brief while completing the bowing and prostration."
